[WyattLee]

C1 driver's license cannot operate an electric tricycle. In 2014, traffic management authorities classified electric tricycles as motor vehicles. Driving an electric tricycle requires a Class D license. Operating an electric tricycle with a C1 license constitutes a mismatch between the license class and vehicle type, resulting in a 12-point penalty. Permitted vehicle types for C1 license: Small and micro passenger vehicles; light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; small passenger vehicles with seating capacity ≤ 9 persons. Vehicle types prohibited for C1 license: Large buses, tractor trucks, city buses, medium buses, heavy trucks, regular three-wheeled motorcycles, regular two-wheeled motorcycles, mopeds, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. Additionally, C1 license holders cannot operate vehicles with over 9 seats or trucks exceeding 6 meters in total length.
